SAID-IRON HEATER.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it my concern:

Be it known that I, P. W. THOMAS, of Waterbury,

in the county of Washington, and State of Vermont,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sad-Iron Heaters; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof,

reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and

to the letters of reference marked thereon,which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 represents a side view, and

D represents the sad-iron in position for heating.

The operation of my heater is as follows:

The irons are first placed and secured in the heater by placing one end of the handle in notch a, and the other :iend in the long notch a and the slide 1) slid against the said end. The doors ()0 are then closed,

and the heater placed upon the stove, or any suitable place for heating the irons.

It will be seen that by this arrangement of notches and slides, the heater can be used for any-sized sadiron.

Having thus described my invention,
